Newspaper Page TextI THE COHOQil CLOBL FRIDAY, JANUARY 1, 1897. THE OFFICIAL PAPER OF GILLIAM COUNTY, OREGON. Spain's armies are said to num ber 3GG.000 men. of whom 200,000 are destributed throughout Cuba, eleven military expeditions having been sent to the Island during the present insurrection. The home army consists of 129,000 men un der arms, 31,000 troops are in the Philippines, and 6,000 in Porto Rico. It is a mystery how Spain can expect to support this large army and carry on two distaut foreigu wars at an expense of over $17,000,000 every month, with an empty treasury, but Spanish pride ignores all considerations except the obstinate purpose ( to maintain itself. Spain has a total popula tion of 18,000,000, of whom 6,104, 470 can read and write. There are 90,000 professional beggars, 64,000 prisoners, 97,257 public office holders, 43,528 priests and friars, 28,519 nuns. The population' of Cuba is about 1,700,000, The Cu ban leaders claim they now have 65,000 men in the field and could have a great many more if they were able to arm them. Many of them have no weapons but ma chetes a large, heavy knife used in cane-culture. The Cubans have do navy. New York Express: That "Un cle Sam is rich enough to give us all a farm" is scarcely less true to day than it was when the song was first sung. He still owns more than 600,000,000 acres of vacant land, not counting Alaska, with its 369.000,000 acres, s and there is a great deal of this vast area that would yield first rate crops if prop erly cultivated. It is too bad that the timid patriots who stood on street corners during the recent campaign trembling in terror of the awful "money power" it is too bad that these timid patriots don't go west and tickle this free soil un til it chuckles with a harvest. As to the total amount of live stock owned in the several coun ties, or listed for taxation by the assessors. Crook county is first in number, with 275.141; Grant coun ty second, with 189,162; Umatilla third, with 184,635, Morrow fourth with 136,930; Gilliam fifth, with 122,022, and Wasco sixth, with 106,787. Harney county leads in cattle, with 54,660; Crook - second with 30,414; and Lake third, with 25,412. Umatilla has 12,413 horses, Crook, 11,119; Malheur, 9506, and Harney 9105. Douglas has 9777 hogs, while Grant has only 338. When the state levy for 1896 for 4.8 mills was made last January it was generally understood that the levy for 1897 would be at least one mill lighter, but since the tax rolls have all been made up and proba ble estimates of state expenses for the next year have been taken into consideration, it is given out from Salem that a larger levy will have to be made on this year's assess ment. And so the hopes of the people for relief from the burdens of high taxation are to be blighted, to some extent, unless the county levy is lower than heretofore. A Salt Lake City man is an en thusiastic believer in the transmu tation of silver into gold. He says that 'l has certainly been establish ed that gold and silver are merely the effects of electrical vibrations, the difference in the vibrations making the difference in the met als, and the difference can be made up by science at an immense profit. If this theory should prove to he correct the silver mine owner will be able to dispose of their product at a better ratio than 16 to 1. The Lodge bill has passed the U. 8. senate. It will prevent the immigration of illiterate foreigners. An educational test is required. Aliens muwt be able to read and write our constitution in their lan guage.

' K , . ...UVari. wi h if 'ilk itim&l Senator Mitchell's bill providing for the election of United States senators by direct vote of the peo ple is meeting strong opposition in the senate. There is no good rea son why this bill should not be come a law, but many obvious reasons why it should be adopted in place of the present expensive and notoriously unsatisfactory method. The senators who assail the bill show by their opposition to it that they dare not go before the people for election. A person who spits on a street in Boston is liable to a fine of $100. A "wild man from the West" re cently violated the law governing this matter and was arrested, and when fined offered $200 in pay ment. The extra hundred was at once returned but stubbornly re fused. When questioned as to this generosity on his part, he said: "Well, you had better credit me with the amount, as I may want to sneeze or blow my nose before I leave town." The local paper is supposed to piint all the home news, but if they printed all the drunken scraps, family rackets, etc, what a howl there would be. You never know the true value of the home paper until you want something kept out of its columns then the editor is the best fellow iu town. Exchange. A young man over near Heppner last week was eutrusted with the money to bring home a good fami ly sewing machine. The hopeful son carried off a neighbor's daught er, married her and brought her home, declaring that she was the best family sewing machine that he could procure. A Portland thief was captured last week because he could not re move his hand quickly enough from his victim's pocket owing to the size of the roll of bills he was try ing to steal. We would advise our readers to carry big rolls of bills hereafter and thus aid in capturing pickpockets. ' The Salem Statesman very sensi bly says that if Oregonians want to become prosperous they must quit buying eggs, hams, bacon, lard, sugar, fruits, vegetables all the things we can raise or make at homein other states or from for eigu lands. The First National Bank of Goldendale, organized in 1889, sus pended last week. The banking business will be continued by J. G. Mad dock, with the First bank of Goldendale. a private institution. A short time since a Mr. Nott of Portland was tried for a violation of the law. The verdict was: "We find the defendant Nott guilty." the judge is still at a loss whether to sentence him or not. Russia proposes now to take an official census. It has been forty years since Russia took a census. Her population is about equal to that of the United States 70,000.- iOOO. Three banks in Pennsylvania, seven in Illinois, three in Minne sota and three in Virginia have been overpowered by the prosperity wave during the past week, and closed their doors against deposi tors. It is cheerful to discover from the annual report of Secretary of Agriculture Motton that 72 per cent of the farmers of the United States are free from mortgage. It is said the supply of coal will last the world only about seven thousand years. We would there fore advise our readers to lay in a large supply at once. The Vermont legislature has just passed a law for wide wagon tires and Oregon will probably pass one the coming session, says the Oregonian. A j'oung Goldendale widow set a bear trap in front of her smoke house door, and the first catch was the man who was courting her. The people who say that thirteen 1 is a hoodoo would do well to note I that the number of stripes on Old (I lory is thirteen.
